[PATCH v5 05/15] media: redrat3: Error path leaves device in transmitting state

[Sean Young <sean@mess.org>]

In the allocation failure error path, the transmitting boolean is not
cleared. If this error path is followed the transmitter cannot be
used again until the device is replugged or the module reloaded.

Fix the error path by moving the assignment statement.

Remove the check for the transmitting state in transmit, since rc-core
ensures there is never a reentrant call to the driver transmit function;
the transmit function is always called with dev->lock held.

The transmitting boolean is only used for interpretting firmware errors.

Fixes: fac59136bc22 ("[media] RedRat3: Return directly after a failed kcalloc() in redrat3_transmit_ir()")"
